McDaniel got Kelly out of the bar and back to his apartment, where they got into a verbal altercation, according to the report.

"Kelly began punching cabinets, fridge, and busted a glass bottle against a wall in the apartment" and "punched a hole in one of the walls," while McDaniel was attempting to gather her stuff and leave the apartment, the incident report states.

McDaniel wound up on the ground, she and Kelly's roommate, who was in the apartment, told police.

"During the course of the argument, ... Kelly 'took' McDaniel to the ground. McDaniel stated that she was kind of pushed to the floor, but not thrown," the report states.

Kelly's roommate, former Bearden High School basketball player Isaiah Campbell, told police he called former UT football player Chris Weatherd to help calm Kelly.

The argument continued before the girlfriend exited the apartment, and Kelly followed her outside and told her "he was going to kill himself," according to the report. As McDaniel walked to her car, she heard "a thud," and she saw Kelly screaming in pain at the bottom of a 30-foot retaining wall, according to the report.

Campbell, said he saw Kelly climb a rail to get on top of the wall before going off the edge, according to the report.

Kelly sustained a laceration to his head and said he hurt his knee, according to the report. He told police that he and his girlfriend were involved in a verbal altercation and were distancing themselves when his girlfriend came at him, according to the report.

McDaniel told police that she and Kelly had been drinking. The report states that Kelly "appeared to be significantly different."

The girlfriend had no visible injuries, according to the report. No arrests were made. Kelly was transported to the UT Medical Center for treatment.

"I know there have been some rumors circulating about my recent hospital visit," Kelly wrote in a note he posted on Twitter. "In an unfortunate turn of events, my knee that has been recovering for the last three months gave out on me and resulted in me slipping and falling. I'm doing well, and I'm so blessed and fortunate to have a fan base like you. Most importantly, I am looking forward to returning next season. Go Vols!"
